Chapter 9/12 of Digimon survive done, have really enjoyed it so far and has been a nice palette cleanse after 180 hours of totk. Aim to try and get it finished in the next week or so so I can pick back up persona 5r (I’m at the pyramid palace) which I need to complete. I’m also eyeing up the DLC for SV over Xmas too as have some shinies I want to take for a spin that I was hunting earlier in the year, aswell as start fzero99. Happy gaming everyone
Still riding high off completing TOTK last week, I’ve been smashing through Digimon Survive ever since. I’m halfway through and really enjoying it. It’s much more visual novel than it is SRPG but tbh after the meatiness of TOTK it’s working as a nice palette cleanser before I work to finish P5R over Xmas (at the point where you pick up Haru). Will try and get it done before pat leave finishes next week if baby will allow!
@LadyCharlie with respect, I think this is quite a tired view of capitalist society to adopt. Corporations can absolutely be people’s friend and be great places to work if they have a great board, great leader and great company culture in my opinion. The bottom line is people have raised standards these days and if they aren’t looked after many will jump ship.
@JohnnyMind ah man, how good is that feeling when you discover that the dungeon under lookout landing keeps going and going and going? Was one of my fav moments for sure. I just finished the game up. The ending is immense you are in for a treat!
I’ve been on paternity leave these last few weeks and now that I’ve settled into a routine with our new addition it has afforded me some time to finally finish TOTK. I’ve been playing that and only that since May. What an all timer of a game.
Now I can pick up my backlog of Persona 5R, Digimon Survive, F-Zero 99, Advance Wars Remake, Spider-Man MM before diving into the latest Fire Emblem. Happy gaming everyone 🙏
Hear, hear! Thank you for all the amazing content. I just blinked and realised I’ve been reading this site for 10 years, feels like only yesterday when I stumbled upon this community… ❤️
@Mauzuri you know what dude, you have extremely different views to me but fair play, you’re clearly here for a constructive chat where others would turn to aggression instead of justifying them and I think that’s cool. I will let bygones be bygones haha.
The art style is getting lots of hate but im just pleased they are trying something new. I haven’t liked the art style since the main line games jumped to 3D so kinda just numb to their art style choices generally at this point. Regardless looking forward to watching this, I like the idea of a series based around the TCG.
@CactuarDavid looking forward to the wonderful life remake. I have such fond memories of playing that with my friends in my angsty teenage years all night
I just cannot get on board with this lifeless art style. The old skool more anime inspired art style of old harvest moon is just so much cooler / better. I know the only thing about natsume that is the same in 2023 is literally the name, but jus sayin
I really wanted to love the first but just couldn’t truly get into it. I agree with the general sentiment that it was okay/ quite good, but never really grabbed me fully despite some cool sections.
@Iconoclysm sorry I misunderstood. I thought you weren’t aware a remake had come out period but you were implying if a sequel to that occurred. Oh well, was just excited to be excited for you 🥲😅
@GrailUK hard agree, it’s an important nuance. I own both PS5 and a switch. They are in the same market and there can be overlap, but I bought them for different things.
@Ryne-Gaia I hope you had a great birthday, sounds like you have some really thoughtful friends!
I have engage in the backlog, gonna dive into that once I’m done with TOTK. I’m a big fire emblem fan.
I like that you put what anime you are watching in your posts too, I will check them out once I’m done with demon slayer! If you had to pick one from your list for anime, which would you recommend checking out first?
@blindsquarel yeah it’s one of those ones. I keep trying to convince the wife to play co op with me but sadly she isn’t a sim type gal. Alas, we will get there one day!
@JohnnyMind nice! My story is similar to that too. I also am a big anime fan + love persona! (I rather shamefully bought a ps5 just to play persona 5!)
I always intended to get round to the first but never did due to BOTW. That likely will happen again but this time with TOTK. It could be a good Xmas party game though
@mr_grimm no better time to try starlink. The physical release (starter pack with fox and one other character) is now only twenty quid in the UK, down from a whopping 70. Picking up my copy today, then back to warframe. Haha

Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart And Zelda Hang Tight As Starfield Drops Back Down To Earth
@Mauzuri I’m not sure what I’m more offended by, your hatred for the wii u or saying totk is only good because Zelda is in the title 🫣🫣🫣

Lolling seeing the overwhelming support for Nick Cage in the comments section haha.
